Why did you upgrade the brakes, wheels, and tires?

—We upgraded the brakes, wheels, and tires to handle the increased power, performance, and demands of off-road racing. The larger wheels and tires provide better grip and traction, while the upgraded brakes offer improved stopping power.

What is the purpose of the proportioning valve?

—The proportioning valve allows for better control and distribution of brake pressure between the front and rear axles. This helps prevent wheel lock-up and provides optimal braking performance in different driving conditions.

Why did you modify the front hubs and knuckles?

—Modifying the front hubs and knuckles is necessary to handle the extra force and stress that comes with off-road racing. These modifications ensure the durability and strength of the components, allowing for improved performance and reliability.

What are the advantages of the upgraded suspension?

—The upgraded suspension provides better handling, improved ground clearance, and increased stability during off-road racing. It allows the truck to navigate rough terrain, absorb impacts, and maintain control, resulting in a more comfortable and safer ride.

How does the Ford Ranger perform after the upgrades?

—The Ford Ranger performs exceptionally well after the upgrades. The combination of the upgraded brakes, wheels, tires, and suspension allows for enhanced off-road capabilities, making the truck more capable, reliable, and enjoyable to drive in various terrains.
